Gabriele Jordan, a professor at the Institute of Neuroscience, Newcastle University in Britain has been investigating four-color vision or tetrachromacy since the '90s and studying a woman (subject cDa29) who has it that she ran across in 2010. See The women with superhuman vision as well as Scientists find woman who sees 99 million more colors than others. And the paper discussing it can be found HERE.
Jay Neitz, the Bishop Professor of Ophthalmology and a color vision researcher at the University of Washington is even predicting that at some time in the future gene therapy might allow humans with normal color visions to possess tetrachromatic vision.

The swap prevents the APOE protein from binding to some sugar-dotted proteins called heparan sulfate proteoglycans, or HSPGs, experiments on the isolated proteins revealed.

Read the whole review to see just what a scam artist Behe really is.

I think Behe is fixing on degradative mutations more that loss-of-function mutations, though:
And Behe focuses on many real-world examples, not just experiments.

Originally posted by HMS_Beagle View PostThe bad news is Behe is either woefully incompetent, a deliberate liar, or both. Here is a rather scathing review with direct evidence of Behe cherry-picking results and ignoring the huge amount of evidence which directly contradicts his "evolution only degrades" stupidity
Read the whole review to see just what a scam artist Behe really is.
(Now we can sit back and watch how that gets twisted around into an unrecognizable shape )
Anywho... The entire review is worth a read, especially since I found a copy of it online.
